DoombatINC posted:This actually stands to reason, especially if you take the "win but don't win impressively" mission from the Nidus quest as DE (in their very DE way) training the player to hold back in the Index. In the canon it makes sense, too - they'd want to penalize the Tenno team by making the matches go longer since their citizens would probably be less likely to wager big on the Corpus team having a comeback if there's no time on the clock to pull it off. Nah, it's relic from a partial redesign. When Index went live it was one instance in which every player bet either short, medium, or long seperately. So the added time made sense since you needed to keep adding to the timer to keep scoring. The rigged game aspect came from the fact once you met your bet it was in your best interest to throw. They changed it because it led to player conflict and friction and wasn't 'fun' since you didn't win collectively more if someone went over your bet, but would lose if your team went under it.

I just noticed baro's selling relics. For new players: these particular relics are giving both Lex and Aklex Prime blueprints/parts as rewards. Buy all of them! The Lex Prime is an amazing sidearm and the Aklex Prime is two of them!

And nobody will use the set because like hell does anyone have room for it with having to stick in Vacuum and an attack Precept. Heck, don't you need multiple attack mods on the dogs and cats to make their attack worth a drat?

So apart from building a speed dagger purely for Covert Lethality i have no idea about zaws. I'm guessing there's no way to see the actual stats of before you shell out for the parts? I want to build a polearm zaw with the infested rapier tip because i thing it would look cool. Do i use the infested handle? The description seem like they would cancel each other out but would i get more viral that way? And what weight do i put on? Status and speed to get more viral procs?

Bistromatic posted:So apart from building a speed dagger purely for Covert Lethality i have no idea about zaws. The infested handles are super boring and just minor stat variations on the pre-existing handles. The infested strikes come with built-in viral damage though, which is nice in general and also great for condition overload. Rapier, staff, and polearm zaws already existed, but combining the new infested scythe head with a short handle will make the first possible scythe zaw.

It's this. Also, if you ran the Index for an hour, there's an easter egg where a meme character would show up that you can kill and you'd get a signed poster from him. They probably designed it so there might be more rewards the longer you run like all the other endless missions. But the Index game mode was so poorly received so they probably just ditched any future plan for it.

Far be it from me to discourage prime part farming, but at <MR8 I suspect you're gonna be sitting on his mods for a long time before they're worth the cost to upgrade them past their nonprime counterparts.

Such discouragement is entirely welcome. One of the problems (if it is one) of this game is there are so many shiny things to chase after at once that it is hard to prioritise.

Tonight I was trying to solo the Lephantis sortie. It was going well, albeit slowly because I was using my Ferrox for ammo efficiency. Midway through the underground phase, suddenly a "MISSION FAILURE IMMINENT. ELIMINATE REMAINING TARGETS" message popped up with a one minute timer. It ticked down and I failed the mission. I tried again, this time with Vectis Prime and some ammo pizzas. Lephantis's last head was nearly dead when the message popped up again. I killed him, but the timer didn't stop ticking, so I legged it towards extraction and made it with only ~15 seconds to spare (which is good, cause failing at that point probably would've ended with me throwing some stuff IRL). Does anyone know what causes this timer to appear and what I can do to avoid it?

Baro, and primed mods especially are late game resource sinks. They are totally unnecessary to for a normal player. But they make numbers bigger, and that's like catnip for the Warframe 1%

I also need enormous amounts of ducats . I already got fever strike but if I want to get primed regen, primed bane of grineer, the detron, and that cool cape I need 1525 more ducats oh god. I guess I'll probably just get regen and be done with it. Or wait for an excavation fissure.

I really, really wish they'd put something in the UI to tell you which relics/prime stuff are vaulted, it's all on the internet but it's such a hassle trying to decide what to liquidate every time Baro comes around.

Just watching the Dev Stream and Damage 3.0 (maybe just 2.5?) is coming, probably with the release of the Chora Warframe, as she can transform to change her base damage type. Slash was a standout with the scaling, so Puncture and Impact were left in the dust. Procs for the base ones (Slash, Puncture, Impact) are now all going to scale the same on a curve that scales up to 90% effectiveness based on the weapon's damage numbers. So a powerful Slash weapon will get a powerful Slash proc, but much less effective (or non-existent) procs of the other types. To me, that also sounds like you're going to have to actually mod for those damage types to get the full effectiveness out of them. Impact is getting changes in that as the effect becomes more powerful it will transition from a stagger into a full ragdoll with scaling power. Blast is also probably getting this treatment. Personally I'd prefer a minor explosion on proc. Other Elementals also being looked at. As is the effects of 100% status scaling on weapons and how it all interacts. Best part of the stream so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkVN_njQpj4&t=1479s Keep watching for just after this bit, because they show off the Fans again that they totally forgot they were developing in lieu of a Sepiroth Katana.

Be aware at the lower ranks of primed regen still only give your sentinel x1 revive, so you will have to shell out seriously to increase it to x3. I definitely bought one because dead sentinels mean I can't hoover mana orbs through walls and that make me sad, but like most primed mods they are just there as a long term project to keep you playing.
